Hello Emad, I don't know if you already solved the problem, but I will add a few notes here in addition to what Bill already suggested. If my understanding is correct you have Sales Representatives that sell your products to someone (Business-to-Business) and those same products are also sold to direct customers (ie: e-commerce site).
If my previous lines are correct, then you have to differentiate inventory items in different facilities as Bill said. But keep in mind that there is no direct way to make a user/sales rep to reserve directly from a specific repository with some sort of permission/role, so you have to reach that in some other way; you could for example configure a ProductStore where Sales Reps can place orders and associate a dedicated facility to it, so that orders of products made on that store reserve inventory in the dedicated facility. Then you could have a second Product Store for your other sale channel (ie: e-commerce) associated to a different facility. In this way you can reach your goal with "only" a bit of backoffice configuration. Otherwise if you prefer to develop your own custom solution, you can leverage the FacilityParty entity which associate a Party (your Sales Rep) to a Facility (your dedicated facility) with a specific Role (SALES_REP /AGENT role) and re-write/customize the inventory reservation flow to consider the new constraint. This choice is up to you depending on your business.
